Cheryl Francine Frazier

Cheryl F. Frazier serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions in advanced manufacturing and information technology sectors, with a focus on analytical laboratory instruments, electronic computing systems, and fiber optic infrastructure. Cheryl works closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements, evaluate proposals, and negotiate terms that align with mission needs while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Cheryl maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large prime contractors and small businesses, fostering competition and innovation through open and set-aside solicitations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for structured, performance-based acquisitions, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and multiple-award contracts to enhance agility and responsiveness. She engages vendors through competitive procedures under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical merit, past performance, and cost realism in source selection. Cheryl demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand market access for small businesses, though the majority of her awards remain unrestricted, reflecting a strategic balance between competition and inclusion. She consistently applies set-aside authorities to support economic diversity and foster long-term vendor development. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing), and 335921 (fiber optic cable manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in scientific instrumentation, data processing hardware, and communications infrastructure. She also regularly procures information services under NAICS 511210 and 519130, reflecting a broad technical scope spanning hardware, software, and digital content delivery. Cheryl’s work supports mission-critical capabilities in research, defense, and public sector technology systems.
